"Deformation theory of nearly G_2 manifolds"
I will start by describing nearly G_2 manifolds and the infinitesimal deformations of nearly G_2 structures. I will describe the results of Alexandrov and Semmelmann on the deformations of nearly G_2 structures and will give a different proof of their result by using a modified Dirac operator.
